You said C<<Cf, so let's say C = delta CF, where delta is small. We
compute a series around delta=0 and, after giving it a look, we set delta
= 0.
expr =
Normal@Series[-Cf^2 L2^2 Rg^2 Vg^4 +
3 (4 C Rg^2 Vd^2 + 4 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2 + 2 C Rg^2 Vd Vg) /.
C -> delta Cf, {delta, 0, 6}]
firstTry = expr /. delta -> 0
12 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2 - Cf^2 L2^2 Rg^2 Vg^4 +
delta (12 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2 + 6 Cf Rg^2 Vd Vg)
12 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2 - Cf^2 L2^2 Rg^2 Vg^4
In a more complicated situation (if a few Series terms were unconvincing),
we might use Limit, instead:
expr = -Cf^2 L2^2 Rg^2 Vg^4 +
3 (4 C Rg^2 Vd^2 + 4 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2 + 2 C Rg^2 Vd Vg) /. C -> delta Cf
secondTry = Limit[expr, delta -> 0]
-Cf^2 L2^2 Rg^2 Vg^4 +
3 (4 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2 + 4 Cf delta Rg^2 Vd^2 + 2 Cf delta Rg^2 Vd Vg)
Cf Rg^2 (12 Vd^2 - Cf L2^2 Vg^4)
In this case, both answers are the same:
firstTry == secondTry // Simplify
True
